I noted this is the announcement today

At the Crows, Blues and Tigers in 2022, his offensive intellect was widely praised. The late Phil Walsh credited Teague for Adelaide's lethal front half scoring prowess in 2017, and even though his stint at Carlton didn't bring success, his team was unashamedly attacking.

Should we dangle a line as this seems to be a massive weakness in our armamentarium

    We really need to develop some forward movement to advantage, especially when we have the ball around 70 metres out from goal.  So many times we have players looking to pass and all they see is a static half forward line standing in the same space that they should be vacating to allow the big boys to lead into.   They should be working to create more space and clear a path for the bigger bodies guys to lead into....and then run over any defenders that get in the way.   Maybe that's too simplistic but the alternative of just bombing it long to a contest gets a bit predictable.

    Of course we should have a look and I think we're at a stage where our list is crying out for some fresh voices, faces and ideas. 

    New coaches in an AFL environment breathe new energy and are generally a catalyst for renewed notivation and individual growth across a playing list. 

    I think it's one of the most important factors going into next year for us and I think that is absolutely clear from looking at our performances this year.

    While injecting new energy into a team can be invigorating, it's crucial to consider the broader picture. Simply swapping coaches might provide a short-term boost, but it's essential to address the root causes of underperformance.

    New faces can certainly offer fresh perspectives, but relying solely on this approach overlooks the complexities of team dynamics. Sustainable success often hinges on identifying and addressing deeper issues within the group, rather than seeking a quick-fix solution.

    Furthermore, continuity with coaching staff is often overlooked. Building strong player-coach relationships, developing a cohesive team culture, and implementing long-term strategies require time and stability. Numerous examples in sports, such as the sustained success of {insert dozens of options here}😎 , highlight the significance of this factor.

    I don't think the players are bored of the message from Goodwin, nor the 10 months that McQualter has been there...  good to throw some ideas around though M.A.D 😀

    *I can appreciate that once a team has won the premiership, and then not for 3 years - it feels as though time is slipping by, and like the season that is spring, it's time to renew.

    Well said. 

    To be clear, I think it's an important factor, clearly not the only one. And I appreciate the complexities involved within a coaching group and their relationship with a list. 

    I can't help but feel the group needs another McCartney type of figurehead at the club. And one more brainiac/strategist to take our forwardline. 

    But what do I know.

    As always, incredibly insightful Drysdale. 

    Do you actually have an opinion on anything? Or are you incapable of having one? 

    Sure seems like the latter. 

    You don't appear to have a sense of humor.

    I wouldn't be going for David Teague.

    What's Josh Mahoney up to? Would he swallow/sparrow his ego and come back and work alongside Lamb and co in the FD?

    If I’m being brutally honest, we should be doing the same thing with McQualter. Clearly hasn’t worked this year. Teague on the other hand would be a great addition for us and has a proven track record of improving a team’s scoring.

    We need new mids and forwards coaches.

    Rawlings has been our defensive coach for eons, but that’s our least concern atm.

    Rawlings is the coach of the table topping Norwood Football Club in the SANFL.

    Nah don't think so. You know who would be good to get in a few years time. Pendlebury.  He has great leadership skills, is the ultimate professional  & a great player.

    There was talk up here that Corowa Rutherglen Football Club were rumoured for have been into Teagues ear around the mid yeah for a senior coaching gig next year but I barely took notice as he was obviously still with the Tigers.

    Obviously this decision has been on the cards for a while it seems.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
